Each Mom is unique and lovely in her own way. We all have our favourite thing that makes our Mom special to us. Maybe it is the late night talks you used to have about boys, or the back rubs she gave you as she tucked you in, or the dozen upon dozens of your favourite cookies she baked, or how she read novels with you, or practiced your pitching at the neighbour park, or how she made you practice piano, or long walks you took with her at night, or how she made the best macaroni and cheese… the list goes on! Mother’s day is to be celebrated! Because no Mom is alike, I thought it would be fun to survey women across North America to see what THEY would like for Mothers day. Some of these gift ideas are practical and some of the gifts will pamper your mom… all of them will bless her.
VOTED on by women in North America…what THEY would like for Mother’s Day!!
Does your Mom love the gym? Her step or yoga class? Does your Mom like to backpack in the mountains? If so, she will love Norwex’s Sport Towel. It is made from suede microfiber with Baclock™ and is highly absorbent, lightweight, fast-drying and has it own carrying pouch. The Baclock™ micro silver agent in the cloth goes to work with self-purifying properties that against mold, fungi and bacterial odour within 24 hours so that it is ready to use again. Which sporty mom wouldn’t like all of that?
Whose Mom wouldn’t love a new towel set for her kitchen? Especially ones that are made of superior microfiber with Baclock™, the micro silver agent in the cloth, that inhibits bacterial odour, mold and mildew growth in the cloth. The kitchen is the hub of your Mom’s home and good kitchen cloths are a blessing. Norwex’s set are super absorbent, dry quickly, won’t scratch, come in 9 colours and are beautiful to use. These towels dry and polish to a spot-free shine!!
This Hair Turban is a must! I’ve said for years the hair Turban is for those with long hair… but last week at a party I was corrected. A sweet 75+ senior in attendance with short grey hair interjected that this is one of her favorite products!
Your Mom will love wrapping her hair up in this luxurious, easy-to-secure, super-absorbent, ultra-soft turban made from exclusive microfiber that contains Baclock™. It quickly absorbs up to 75% of the moisture in your hair to save time blow drying and the health of your hair. What can I say, I have long hair and I love my hair turban… I never leave town without it.
The Shower Gel is another beautiful Norwex product that will not just pamper your mom’s skin (which it totally will) but because it is made from natural and organic products, it won’t hurt your mom or the environment. It is made from the derivatives of fruit sugar, pineapple, coconut and lemon, plus aloe vera that acts to moisture and is double certified organic (BDIH and NaTrue). This crisp Shower Gel has plant-based surfactants that are mild to the skin and deliver pure clean without drying the skin. Some of my customers actually use this Shower Gel as their body wash and shampoo because it is so lovely and because they love how clean the ingredients are.
Oh my… this is the best!! Many vehicles have chemical laden vent clips or hanging trees. Ask yourself… What am I inhaling? Is it healthy?
Every Mom’s vehicle deserves a little infusion of soothing scents and delicate aroma from Norwex’s unique botanical blends of Essential Oils. Aromatherapy, the therapeutic use of essential oils is known to help evoke a feeling of calm and comfort. When you spend as much time in the car as many Mom’s do… even Grandma’s; driving to sporting and extracurricular events, long road trips, smelly sporting gear… everyone will enjoy the relaxing scent!
Norwex has 3 Essential Oil Blends including; Soothing Blend, Energizing Blend and Purifying Blend. All are made with high-quality, organic ingredients that were carefully cultivated, harvested, crafted, combined and matured to perfection. They can be combined with Norwex’s ceramic Car Vent Clips to provide a subtle yet long-lasting scent that will freshen your mom’s car. She can use the Essentials Oils in her home too, by placing a couple drops on Wool Laundry Ball or diluted with water in a spray bottle to provide an refreshing scent to the air or spray surfaces and clean with an EnviroCloth. Essential Oils are all about evoking relaxation and reducing stress… I bet your Mom would like that.
These little cloths were designed to replace paper towels. Which Mom doesn’t love the convenience, versatility and size of paper towels? But no one likes the impact they have on the environment. The NEW Counter Cloths are convenient and the perfect size of paper towel (28 cm x 13 cm / 11″ x 5″), but the microfiber is more absorbent is made from 50% recycled materials, can be used over and over and has Baclock™ agent to help self-purify the cloth. They will change your Mom’s paper towel habit for the better!
Another source of paper consumption in our homes is the use of paper napkins. Mom’s famous lasagna or her chicken wings require something to clean up the yummy mess. Last year, Norwex launched Napkins made from 50% recycled materials! Each set is made from the equivalent of five recycled plastic bottles. They are beautifully designed with a textured finish and made with superior microfiber containing Baclock™, are super-absorbent and can be reused.
The Spa Wrap is made from the same soft, absorbent, lightweight microfiber as the Norwex Towel but has a handy velcro® closure and elastic top that allows your Spa Wrap to fit you perfectly and keep you comfortable as you get ready for the day or as you enjoy a day at the beach. It is like a warm towel hug for your mom.
The Olive Oil Salt Scrub is AMAZING. I can’t say enough about this one. It is a beautiful product that helps maintain the health of your skin. It is an organic-certified cleansing scrub with Lemon Peel and Orange Oil that is enriched with Dead Sea Salts containing 26 minerals that creates a moisture barrier to protect the newly revealed skin. It has no preservatives or perfumes, is perfect for all types of skin and honestly leaves your skin feel so good and healthy… even velvety. Your mom will feel like she’s been to the spa.
For the women who taught you to wash your hands, your Mom is going to love Norwex’s Peppermint Foaming Soap. It is all-natural, and has energizing peppermint aroma that will leave her skin clean, soft, smooth and moisturized. Unlike many hand soaps, this one is free of synthetic dyes, fragrances with phlatates and preservatives with parabens.
The Chenille Hand Towel is a perfect complement to the foaming soap as the luxurious chenille microfiber is so soft and absorbent. The Hand Towel has Baclock™ antibacterial agent in the towel works to self-purify and inhibit odours from bacteria, mold and mildew. As a mom, I love that this towel doesn’t reintroduce the same dirt and bacteria that’s caught in a tradition towel from previous use. This is a beautiful gift and comes in a 4 different colours.
3. For the Mom who Needs a Little “Luxury Treatment”
The Body Pack Cloths are another favourite of mine. They are made from a soft and luxurious microfiber that has Baclock™ micro silver and only need water to cleanse my face. These are lovely. If you are looking for an all-natural exfolliating cloth, just well-wring the Body Pack Cloth and it will do the trick to reveal your best skin. They are so good, they even remove makeup… no chemical-filled cleanser required.
The Norwex Lip Balm is NEW this year. They made them nice and big (8 g/ 0.28 oz)… they remind me of the old lip smackers I used to buy as a kid (but way better). There are three yummy natural flavours including; Black Raspberry, Orange Vanilla and Pineapple Coconut. They are USDA certified organic and formulated with ingredients, including; Sunflower Seed Oil, Caster Seed Oil, Shea Butter and Beeswax. They are free from: gluten, petroleum, mineral oil, synthetic fragrances and dyes, parabens and aluminum. They are perfect to moisturize, hydrate, nourish and protect your mom’s lips. Ahhh.
These are a must-have in my life and I bet your mom will feel the same. The Foot Stone made of 100% pure pumice is AMAZING. Every day I scuff this stone over my heals, the bottom of my feet and toes and I never never get any build up. It naturally removes old cells to reveal soft, smooth skin. It is especially perfect for the summer time when we love to wear sandals and is a must-have for those gardening moms to clean not just her feet, but her hard-working hands too.
The next best thing is the NEW Body Balm. I am very busy with this product… i love it and use it daily! It is an organic, roll-on remedy for your dry heels, elbows, hands and knees and up and down your legs. It has a beautiful citrus, minty aroma that is soothing and perfect for everyday use. This is going to be your Mom’s new favourite!
This was VOTED #1 for MOM… we all need a little rescuing sometimes!! This gift pack will rescue your mom in a few small ways… nothing like she has done for you, but we can try :). The first is the Body Scrub Mitt. It is a great shower tool that has a scrubby side and a soft microfiber side. It is designed to clean and rejuvenate your skin by gently removing dead skin cells and revealing your smooth beautiful skin. One of my favourite things about the Body Scrub Mitt is that it can be used instead of shaving cream. Simply scrub your legs and then follow by shaving and you will find you receive a perfect shave. Saving your Mom money and time will make her happy!
The second product is the Optic Scarf. This the best lens cleaner out there. It is made of tightly-woven, lint-free microfiber that not only cleans glasses beautifully, but it also cleans your cell phone and other devices too. It has a clever design that includes a clip for your bag and the ability to remove the clip so you can clean the Scarf in the washing machine. You mom will love having fingerprint-free glasses and devices.
The third product is the Timeless Rescue Gel. It is a designed to help rescue your mom from stress. Just roll this synergistic blend of natural and organic botanicals across any tension points, like, temples, neck and shoulders. The ingredients include; chamomile, camphor, devil’s claw and arnica montana extract, aloe vera, sage and rosemary. I love this stuff and tend to have a stash at my desk and in the car. It’s a little piece of heaven every Mom should enjoy.
Norwex is well known for their natural cleaning products. We all love the EnviroCloths!! Although the cleaning products are amazing, it is great time to pamper your mom and give her a little something for just her that has nothing to do with cleaning. This Mother’s Day, bless you Mom with some of Norwex’s amazing natural personal products. Giving your Mom a little love this Mother’s Day is going to be easy.

“Soft, like a baby’s bottom”… This saying only tells part of the story about babies’ skin. Of course baby skin is soft — it is the best!!! — but it is also delicate, fragile and needs to be protected from chemicals in our environment.
Skin is a very important multifunctional organ that provides our bodies with a barrier function, mechanical protection, thermoregulation, immune surveillance and it prevents the loss of body fluids. Healthy skin plays a role in keeping babies alive. It was previously thought that the skin barrier function reached its maturity at about 34 weeks gestation (still in the womb). However, recent data shows that newborn skin goes through a gradual process of maturity in its environment and continues to develop until 12 months after birth —that is all the way until their first birthday!!! Skin care is important during a baby’s first years of life as studies show that baby’s (6-13 months old) and toddler’s (17-24 months old) skin has higher skin reactivity and absorption than adults.
The newborn’s skin is very naturally sensitive, thin and fragile. The skin of the premature newborn is even thinner, therefore highly permeable. This increases the risk of toxicity from the absorption of chemicals. This skin is also more easily attacked mechanically. For example, a baby’s bottom is in constant contact with diapers and being wiped with baby wipes which can cause repeated removal of top layer of skin cells. This increases the permeability of the skin and chance of skin rashes and infections. The health of a newborn’s skin is so important to the overall health of the child.
Norwex’s Global Mission is to: “Improve quality of life by radically reducing chemicals in our homes.” This mission does not only apply to how we care for our homes but how we care for our bodies. The shelves at the supermarkets and drug stores are lined with chemical-filled baby products. Even with the knowledge of cancer-causing agents, these can still be found in some of the most “trusted” companies baby products. Isn’t it wonderful that Norwex provides alternative skin care products. Here are a few chemical-free products that will keep your babies clean and safe.
Baby Hooded Towel Set: It is the perfect size for babies and toddlers; it is super absorbent, super soft and super cozy, just what their sensitive skin needs. It is constructed with microfiber and has Norwex’s exclusive Baclock™ agent to inhibit odors from bacteria. It also comes with a matching face cloth.
Baby Body Pack: It comes with three baby-sized face or body cloths. They are super soft and gentle on your baby’s skin. They are constructed with microfiber and has Norwex’s exclusive Baclock™ agent to inhibit odors from bacteria growth.
Bubble Bath: All kids love bubbles at bath time!!! Norwex’s bubble bath is made from 3 natural ingredients — water, caprylyl/capryl glucoside (a natural foamer) & natural wild cherry fruit extract. It is non-allergenic, biodegradable and a gentle cleansing agent. Plus, it is FUN!!!
Body Lotion: This chemical-free lotion is good for the whole family and is certified by BDIH and NaTrue for its organic and natural properties. It smells wonderful and is loaded with a variety of natural botanicals like coconut oil, grape seed oil, aloe vera, sweet almond oil shea butter and vitamin E.
Take the time with your sweet baby to massage this wonderful lotion into their skin… they will feel loved & comforted, their circulatory system will be stimulated and you will be at ease knowing that there are no chemicals being absorbed into their perfect skin.

Thefirst new product is the Pet to Dry — a silly name for the most fun hand towel ever invented. It was created for all the little kids in your life who avoid taking the time to wash their little hands, never mind, dry their little hands. “How do they do it?” you ask. They made the Pet to Dry irresistible!!! They are adorable & fluffy and all you have to do is pet it and your hands are dry. It comes in two styles – a pink pig & a yellow tiger. Like Norwex’s regular hand towels, these the Pet to Dry is made with BacLock™ technology works to self-purify the cloth and is constructed out of a soft chenille microfiber. It not only dries little hands quickly, but it is quick to dry as well. The best part of these soft, cute hand driers is, that it is an effective tool to help kids create healthy-hand-washing habits for the rest of their lives. Hang it on your washroom door knob or on the kitchen cabinets for quick and easy access!
Do you feel like a contortionist when trying to clean and exfoliate the skin on your back? Thesecond new bathroom product is the Back Scrubber! There is nothing better than a good back scratch… except for an exclusive Norwex BacLock™ technology, microfiber, dual handle & easy-to-grip, quick-drying Back Scrubber. Not only is a good back scrub a guiltless pleasure, but Norwex’s new product also aids in the health of your hard-to-reach skin with deep-cleaning exfoliation to remove toxins and impurities and reveal radiant, clean skin. Great for your neck, shoulders, legs and feet. Your back will thank you (and maybe your spouse too)!
The third new bathroom product is the Bathroom Mat. Now it’s not completely new, but what is new is that it now comes in a graphite (grey) colour. It is still super absorbent, holding 10 times its weight in water, it still doesn’t slip on your bathroom floor because it is so thick, it still dries quickly and is super soft on your feet. It comes in three beautiful colours: teal, latte & graphite. Check out my previous post to get all the details on this fabulous bath mat & all its uses.
These new bathroom products will help develop healthy habits and aid in healthier lifestyles without adding any toxins to your bathroom routine. Doesn’t that sound wonderful???

Alright my friends… here’s a product you shouldn’t live without! Norwex’s Shea Butter is fabulous for severely dry skin including: hands, feet, elbows, cuticles, scalp, and lips. It’s all natural and organic ingredients include Avocado Oil as well as Vitamin E.
Harsh environmental elements such as the sun, wind, heat and cold can dry your skin. Norwex Shea Butter is your much needed moisturizer. Your skin will feel nourished and be protected against the elements as it soaks up this incredible moisturizing product!
What I also think is fabulous, are the ingredients which are not found in the bottle. The Ecocert-certified Organic Shea Butter is free from:
GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms)
Parabens
Phenoxyethanol
Nanoparticles
Silicone
PEG (Polyethylene Glycol)
Synthetic perfumes and dyes
Animal-derived ingredients
Do you have a family member or friend with fly-away hair? This product is also an excellent balm for taming dry or frizzy hair.
This product feels firm when removed from the jar, simply massage it into your hand to warm it up prior to use.
Did you know?
People have appreciated the healing properties of Shea Butter for centuries. Its history can be traced back to ancient Egypt, where it was used to protect the hair and skin against the fierce effects of the sun and hot, dry desert winds. It is derived from the nut of the Shea tree and melts at body temperature.
For those who are enduring cold weather for the entire winter (as many of us are), the cool temperatures and dry winter air are guaranteed to challenge our skin, leaving us with cracked hands and sore lips. Not surprisingly our hands are one of the first parts of our bodies to show signs of aging. You can combat the winter effects by soothing your hands with Shea Butter. It’s a perfect year-round remedy!
**Allergy Alert: Contains oil from the Shea Nut

Babies and kids have extra-soft skin and they deserve all of our extra loving care. Norwex Microfiber cloths and towels are both super gentle and remarkably absorbent.
Many new moms have commented to me that they’ll swaddle their precious baby up in Norwex Hooded Towel after a bath, and by the time they are laying on the change table… they are totally dry!
Norwex Microfiber towels and cloths are quick-drying and embedded with the exclusive BacLock™ agent in the cloth that goes to work to self-purify and inhibit odors from bacteria, mold and mildew growth!
I have three Microfiber recommendations for your child’s skin:
Young Children: The Kids Towel which is vibrant apple green in colour with a sunshine yellow trim.
All Ages: The Baby Body Pack includes a set of three face / body cloths which are extra gentle on skin. These cloths are excellent for wiping up after meals, bath time, craft time or snack time.
These cloths are an excellent replacement for using wipes which contain toxic chemicals.
These cloths are also excellent for cleaning babies gums.
Somehow during the past 20 years, wiping a baby’s bottom has turned into a ‘disposable wipe event’. Years ago, all moms used only cloths and then they laundered them and reused them. Today we see more diaper rashes, skin conditions and allergies than ever before. Our skin is our largest organ, it is constantly absorbing that which it contacts. Let’s protect our little ones’ fresh, absorbent, and innocent skin by wiping it with only a cloth and water. Think twice before you rub it down with something you wouldn’t drink.
Speaking of baby skin, let’s talk about the body washes and lotions available. Norwex has shopped the world over for you. Their products come from over 12 different countries. Our Body Lotion, Shower Gel and Hand Cream are sourced from Germany. These products are fantastic and will work amazing on your babies and yourself.
